Start a wpf.exe application with a c# console app?

Question

I have a wpf application (.exe) on my desktop. I made ac# console application that have to start it. But I get a FileNotFoundException

This is what I have:

 var process = new Process();
 process.StartInfo.FileName = "MyWpfAPp.exe";
 process.Start();

Did I forget something?

This will do the trick for you if the file is on and always will be on your desktop

var fileLocation = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);
var fileName = "MyWpfAPp.exe";

var path = Path.Combine(fileLocation, fileName );

var process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = path;
process.Start();
